This release captures the live performance from Michael Schenker's "Temple Of Rock" US Tour on February 18, 2012, at the Backstage Bar & Grill in Tacoma, Washington. While Schenker undertook a world tour in 2012—including scheduled dates in Japan—this US leg (running through the summer) featured Robin McAuley on vocals. Schenker frequently rotates band members for different tour legs; notably, former Rainbow vocalist Doogie White was confirmed to join the subsequent European tour in the autumn. As this tour supported the *Temple Of Rock* studio album (released in autumn 2011), the performance exudes a remarkable sense of relaxation and stability. The setlist, a blend of classic hits and newer material, makes this a concert that fans will absolutely love. Regarding sound quality: although it is an audience recording, the intimate size of the venue provides a direct, realistic, and immersive listening experience. Additionally, a microphone malfunction occurred during the early track "Armed & Ready," resulting in a "karaoke-style" instrumental mix for much of the song—a happy accident that allows the listener to fully appreciate the sharpness of Michael's guitar work.
